They were formed on a South Korean talent show in 2014 and made it big on the US charts with their first English-language album in 2020, inspiring the kind of fervour among a certain demographic that their countrymen BTS enjoy. Monsta X are a K-Pop behemoth, albeit one you have perhaps not heard of to date. Stream: Is it Insane, Dead End Road, Love When You Call My Name Korean boyband Monsta X have released their second English-language album, The Dreaming (Photo: Starship Entertainment) Monsta X Songs are accomplished and fully formed, whether belters like “Dead End Road” or the warped discord of “Nat King Cole”. It’s perhaps a sign of confidence in herself: to which I say, fair play. His is the first voice you hear, coming in with a short verse over a hard beat, Keys oozing in shortly after with a slinky vocal like a featured artist on her own album opener. She has also made room for many, many invited guests – to the point where you’d be forgiven for thinking Keys was actually a Pusha T album. It’s not really necessary to have these two versions side by side, but it is a neat exercise to compare and contrast the two if you are that into it. The first is made up of self-produced songs that lean heavily on piano accompaniment and vocal fireworks, while the second features “unlocked” versions produced by Mike Will Made It that lean heavily on bassy beats and, well, also vocal fireworks, because Keys’ voice is absolutely spectacular no matter what furniture you surround it with.

Anything Taylor Swift can do, Neil Young can do… well, not “better” but certainly “as well”.īarn doesn’t tread much new ground for Young and Crazy Horse. Visually, Crazy Frog Racer is like a PSone game. Barn is his seventh project of the Covid era, an output which is truly making the rest of us look like absolute slobs, recorded this summer in a cabin in the Rockies with his long-time backing band, Crazy Horse. That all the tracks look the same - be they beach, city, sewer or hillside-based - doesn't help much either.
